Wang Tiles are constructed from four texture samples, arranged so they can always match a choice of other tiles at two edges. Because they are precomputed, Wang Tiles are a very e...
The recently introduced random walker segmentation algorithm of [14] has been shown to have desirable theoretical properties and to perform well on a wide variety of images in pra...
There are many local and greedy algorithms for energy minimization over Markov Random Field (MRF) such as iterated condition mode (ICM) and various gradient descent methods. Local ...
We prove strong lower bounds on integrality gaps of Sherali?Adams relaxations for MAX CUT, Vertex Cover, Sparsest Cut and other problems. Our constructions show gaps for Sherali?A...

The balanced graph partitioning consists in dividing the vertices of an undirected graph into a given number of subsets of approximately equal size, such that the number of edges c...
